Just a little ridiculous Scott :rolleyes:
I think that was the fastest between 500s there ever was.

67 more to go!
 

Hi Frank, please increase my MN to 453.

Frank-

Please increase my monster number from 32 to 36. Just added 3 Brooklyn players and a Johnny Evers.

Thanks, Andrew

Please update me to 21:

Bradley, batting, Polar Bear

Monster #
 

Take me to 118 please. Added Oldring, Davidson and Murphy this week. All SGC graded. Thanks Frank

I am at 204 after several recent pick ups. Set is rating out just above a 5 right now. Goal is no card below PSA 4 (need to replace 2 cards in set to get this done).

Bump Me, Please
 

Hi Frank, When your in here again please put me up to 83. Two new additions from board member Luke. Thank you!

Frank - Please take me down to 11.

I do hope to keep all these.


Thanks,
Raymond

Frank-

Could you please increase my number from 36 to 38. Just acquired 2 more Brooklyn players.

Thanks, Andrew

Frank please update my # to 106

Been about a month since my last update, but not much progress on my second set.

Please bump to 104 whenever - thanks!

Just acquired a Del Howard. Could you please increase my monster number to 39.

Thanks, Andrew

New entrant!
 

I sort of went on a tear this week, as I just couldn't help myself. Two weeks ago my Monster number was zero. Today it sits at 25 in hand, thanks to a couple of nice lots I was able to pick up, with more on the way. So please enter me at 25 for now, to be updated next week.

Separate note. The Wild Bill Donovan (throwing) may be the most beautiful card I have ever seen, certainly that I own. The colors are so striking and warm. Just magnificent.

Francis if you would be so gracious to update my magic number to #350 I would be much obliged.


Just picked up this Crawford. It ain't pretty but I like it :D

Thanks to a few board members, I have cracked another milestone - please update me to 401!

Dr. Frank,

I am happy :) to report I am finished (for now :rolleyes:) at 518.

Last card ?????


Not Green Cobb

Not Elberfeld, Washington

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Please Give Me A Bump......
 

From 83 cards to 85 cards when you are in here updating. This is thanks to 2 very smooth deals, on B/S/T, with board members Josh & Tony. A nice Milligan Polar Bear & a Bill Donovan

Frank-

Please increase my monster # from 39 to 42. I just acquired a nice Chesbro, a Pfeister Sitting and Pfeister Throwing.

Thanks, Andrew

Please update my MN to 111

Just recently acquired my first T206. But it was Rube Waddell (portrait) so my MN is 1! (and hopefully to grow starting soon!)

Sorry Frank, haven't updated in a while. Starting to get the itch to start T206 collecting again. Please put me down to 19. Hopefully, I'll start to build it back up.

I'm up to 22:

Berger, Polar Bear.

Hey Frank,

Up to 255. Can you adjust my number?

Thanks,

Mark

Please delete my second set entry whenever you find the time - I have since parted with those cards.

I am at 112... Please add me.

26 magee

my monster number is now a whopping 3 with these two new additions!

Collins and Flick!

[IMG]http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/v...psgjbsjy8b.jpg[/IMG]

Maybe it's just the scan, but that Flick doesn't look good to me.

hmmm, the guy i got both from had a dozen in various condition and I assumed that they were all good judging by how they looked.....

I was wondering if it looked off to anybody else, but pondered whether it could be a function of the scan. The font looks too dark and heavy, is part of it. I hope it's real.

looks to me that they aren't scans but hand shot pics due to the shadow over the bottom of the Flick. that might be giving the font a darker hue

sunuva....... look at this, I didn't notice before (I'm a T206 noob) but the scan for the back shows a Piedmont back in red ink. Now, I may be new, but I don't believe these existed in the original printings right? (i though all piedmonts were in some form of blue) so, looks like you were right..... dammit

[IMG]http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/v...ps6tjtk2ch.jpg[/IMG]

good thing is, the guy I got it from is a regular on a facebook card auction group, he will make it right as I doubt he wants to give up his right to sell there.

I'm at 195

Glad it worked out for you, Nick. For many of us , the lessons of experience were more expensive.

MN is now 474.

Frank-

Could you please increase my MN from 42 to 46?

Thanks, Andrew

monster number
 

zrickkid monster number is 303.

Delete mine please
 

Frank,

You can delete my count of 232 (mantleman) as I have since sold them.

Thanks for your ongoing efforts with this thread and I have a feeling I will be back starting over sometime soon !!

Andy

I'm at 450

You can update me - I'm at 450 now. I also have two entries at 191 and 171, which is not accurate. Just need one entry!

Thanks!

Well, as of a couple of hours ago, I am now at...

520!

Thanks to Don Hontz for my Cobb bat on!

Man that's a great place to be! I hope to take dramatic steps forward on Saturday. Hopefully all of the T206s won't be sold off by then!

520????

I'm happy to be at 5! But hey, it takes time, I'll get there by the time I turn 70 I'm sure (43 right now) the chase is most of the fun!

How true

There is plenty of time (and cards) out there. I am 48 and started in high school myself but tried to limit my "common" backs. Only 170 of my 520 are Piedmont or Sweet Cap, so I have tortured myself quite a bit over the years.

Congratulations. Are you going any further?

Not on T206, unless you know next weeks PowerBall numbers...
There are several other sets I'm working on to take up my time and extra cash, including Batter Up, T205 and a 1935 Goudey master set.

Hey Frank,

Can you bump me up? At 282 now.

Thanks,

Mark

what are the 4 he's missing from 520 to 524?

Wagner, Plank, Doyle error and Magie?


I'm a noob and want to make sure there's not another super rare I'm missing.

Yes, those are the missing four, which will unfortunately stay that way absent a big bag of money falling from the sky

Hi Frank

If you could please, I need a slight adjustment to my Monster Number. My current number now after the National is 391.

Thanks

I'm now at 486 post-National. Thanks for doing this Frank!

I need to get back into this.

#2 Bender portrait

I haven't had a new one since the beginning of the year.

Thank You Frank.....
 

...for working on this thread!!! Would you bump me up the ladder by 3 to a total of 88 Monster cards. All from solid transactions on our B/S/T from Tony & Jeff.

Bought some more lately, up to 62 now.
Please update MN.


Thanks

up to 129

With my Ginger Beaumont, I'm up to a whopping total of 10 in my collection.

I Like your style I'm at about 30 but
embarrassed to post ha ha. When I get to
100 I'll go for it. Collecting sets is new for me

Diving back in
 

After selling all my T206 cards a few years back, the set is tugging at me again. I'm rereading Ty Cobb, A Terrible Beauty and as I come across the different characters in the book, I'm wanting to pick up those players.

I'm curious as to how long it took some of you to get to 400 plus?

Please put me down as currently having 44.

Thanks,
Ron

Last 5: Matty McIntyre, Jerry Downs, Beals Becker, Jack Dunn, Frank Oberlin

My total is 12 at the moment. Mark me down please, Mr. Frankbmd!

Don't be embarrassed. This is addicting.

I'm going to tame the monster some day one way or another.

I guess nearly 4 years ago I was at 4, and with the addition of a Bat Off Cobb I'm at a whopping 5.

The tortoise checks in.

The Hal Chase Trophy now gives me 11.

I bought a PSA bat Magee from a member on here and it arrived yesterday.

Now I'm at 12.

18 additions since our last chat Franklin.

The 2 most recent purchases.. Both Raw puts my monster number up to 368 and sole possession of 80th place!

Up to 200

Well. It appears the monster is raising its beady head again. Once upon a time, there were three. Then 518. Then 10-something. Seems I stand today at 123. Gawd. Perish the thought.

Greetings Frank

My set #4 is now 467 cards....and, is an All-SWEET CAPORAL, Factory #30 set.

Please identify it as such (abbreviate it as you wish).


Thanks, good buddy

Frank,

Please update my number to 504. Thanks, Bill

Frank-

I just acquired this awesome card. Could you please increase my MN to 47?

Thanks, Andrew

Josh,

Very nice OM Jordan. :)

400 on the horizon !!!!!

Fun stuff, Scott :rolleyes:

Chalk another one up to the Monster
 

F

Bump another Buster (please do it in the dark so as to not disturb the Monster) up to 504 as well. My progress is slow and unsteady, much like Godzilla through the streets of Toyko.

B

Six months into working the monster counted up the checklist last night and was at 250 on the nose.
Decided to jump in the thread.

Thanks Scott!

I was hoping to get there by the end of the year. Not sure how realistic that is though.

Hey Frank. Can you move me up to 291?

Thanks,

Slowly stalking the monster...it doesn't even know I'm here yet. Please put me up to 55.

Thanks,
Ron
